Beginning this meditation by finding a comfortable place to rest whether seated or laying down.
One is not better than the other,
Whatever allows you to feel completely relaxed and settled.
Moving your body in any little ways to eventually find a place to rest and settle.
Always knowing that you can use blankets and pillows to find an even more comfortable position.
And once you found that spot to settle,
Closing the eyes if it feels comfortable to do so.
We close the eyes in meditation to allow us to turn the keys inwards to our internal world,
Meaning whatever is here without judgment,
Here in this present moment with curiosity.
Is there a certain sensation within the physical vessel that is calling to you that you're noticing in this moment?
Allowing your awareness to circulate through the body,
Noticing areas of the body,
Perhaps along the skin,
The nervous system of our body,
Outermost layer of our nervous system,
Allowing sensations that touch our skin to be felt,
Acknowledged.
Whether the temperature in the room,
Maybe a bit of wind or air rustling,
Sensation of your clothing meeting your skin,
Your body meeting the ground beneath you,
Ultimately held by the earth.
Getting familiar with your body in this moment,
Our body as our home,
Just like you would become familiar with any physical dwelling or physical environment with which you are immersed.
From here,
Paying particular attention to the areas of the body where you can feel that natural breath flow,
Taking a deep breath in through the nose.
Where can you send the breath?
Where do you feel the breath?
Full at the top,
Taking a sip more air in here and exhale,
Sigh it out the mouth.
Once more,
We take a breath in through the nose,
Fill the ribcage 360 degrees,
Front,
Back,
Side to side,
Fill the belly,
Take an extra sip of air here,
Let it out the mouth as a sigh.
Beautiful.
Resting in your awareness of your body,
Of your breath,
Back to its natural state,
Visualizing here a golden light,
A radiant fire within,
A golden light that is located underneath,
Excuse me,
Above your belly button,
Underneath your ribcage,
Under your sternum,
Above your belly button,
The area of the third chakra,
Manipura.
Color is yellow,
The element is fire.
Feel that internal heat,
That golden light radiate through your torso,
Radiate down through your hips,
Down your thighs and shins,
Ankles and feet.
That radiant light radiating up your chest,
Through your shoulders and neck,
Down your arms,
Hands,
Fingers.
That radiant light filling your face,
Your skull.
Affirmations to repeat to yourself in your head or even out loud.
I am worthy.
I am worthy.
Worthy of it all,
Of joy,
Of peace,
Of abundance,
Of love,
Of health,
Of well-being,
Of safety.
I am worthy.
The second affirmation,
I am a powerful creator.
I am a powerful creator,
Creator of art,
A creator of my life,
A creator of my reality.
I am a powerful creator and I am worthy.
Continuing to repeat these affirmations to yourself,
Allow them to radiate with that light,
That heat through your body.
We are connecting here with the element of fire,
Self-confidence,
Vitality,
Power,
Will.
Will is the consciously controlled change.
We are consciously connecting with our source of power to change our life in any way we would like.
Since you are a powerful creator and worthy of it all,
Manipura is connected to transformation.
Resting here,
Connecting here to your transformational power.
Connecting back with the sensation of breath.
Feel it through your nostrils and your chest,
Perhaps even down your torso to your belly.
And then you naturally let it go in this beautiful cycle.
And slowly from here,
We'll take a deep breath together,
Inviting it in through the nose,
A little bit more air here,
And letting it out as a sigh.
Connected to this element,
Connected to your power and worth,
Connected to your radiance,
Beginning to move the body,
Wiggle the fingers and toes,
Circle the wrists and ankles,
Moving into the next portion of your day,
But with this awareness that you can always return to.
